It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after school to work on a special project three days in a row. When she got home on Friday， she dropped into the chair with a sigh （嘆氣）.

“Whats going on， Amanda？” her dad asked as he was reading the newspaper.

“I have to create a webpage for my technology class， and it is taking a lot more time than I thought it would，” answered Amanda.

Her dad looked over his newspaper and asked Amanda what the webpage was about.

“Its about the difference between newspaper news and Internet news，” Amanda said and added， “I have to provide information， examples and illustrations （插圖）.”

“Sounds tough. Do you have someone to help you？” asked her dad.

“I have a partner named Zach，” Amanda replied. “We did research on the Internet today and found some pictures to use.”

Then Amanda explained to her father the main differences： newspaper news is printed on paper， and Internet news is published online; newspaper news is only available once a day， and Internet news is published almost as soon as the news happens; many newspapers dont even print a daily paper， and Internet news is published around the clock.

Amandas dad asked， “Which type of news do you like better？”

“I like Internet news better because I like to learn about the news when it happens，” answered she.

Her dad said， “I still like newspaper news better because I like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”

Amanda dropped into her chair again and said， “You are so old school， Dad.”

24. Why did Amanda sigh when she came home？

A. She failed to pass the exam. B. She was tired of school life.

C. She was worried about her school project. D. She made a mistake in her technology class.

25. What did Amandas father think of her creating a webpage for the technology class？

A. Boring. B. Difficult. C. Exciting. D. Fashionable.

26. What does Amanda think of Internet news？

A. People prefer it. B. It is convenient to read.

C. People should pay for it. D. It is given in good time.

27. What can we learn about Amandas father？

A. He tends to act in the old way. B. He feels terrible without the Internet.

Personality is， to large extent， inherent. A-type parents usually bring about A-type children. But the environment must also have a big effect， since if competition is important to the parents， it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.

One place where children soak up A-characteristics is school， which is， by its very nature， a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the “win-at-all-costs” moral （道德的） standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system， in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen （熱切） to win can have dangerous consequences： remember that Pheidippides， the first marathon runner， dropped dead seconds after saying， “Rejoice， we conquer！”

By far the worst form of competition in school is the improper emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits （價值） of competition by examinations are somewhat questionable， but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.

Obviously， it is neither practical nor desirable that all A-youngsters change into Bs. The world needs types， and schools have an important duty to try to fit a childs personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.

28. The underlined word “inherent” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “___”.

A. unpredictable B. different C. strange D. natural

29. What does the author want to show by giving the example of Pheidippides？

A. His eagerness to win a game. B. His approval for the competition.

C. The result of the serious competition. D. His attitude toward the examinations.

30. What is the authors attitude toward examinations in schools？

A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Uninterested.

31. What is the authors suggestion about the management of schools？

A. A childs personality should agree with their future.

B. Students should be made into competitive A-types.

C. Students should be changed into B-types.

D. Schools should give up examinations.

D

As the most common and popular forms of energy are being used up quickly， the search to find new sources of energy is underway. These sources of energy must be renewable and not cause the pollution that fossil fuels do. Among them are solar energy， geothermal energy， wind energy and tidal energy.

We can get endless solar energy from the sun. The main problem is to collect and store this energy in an economical way. We can receive energy from the sun with plates or cells. Collectors put on roofs of houses and other buildings turn solar energy into heat. With this energy we can heat up water or the air inside. Solar cells transform the suns light directly into electricity.

Geothermal power can be produced in places where water comes into contact with hot rock below the earths surface. The water that reaches these hot areas turns into steam， which then produces electricity. Geothermal heat is an important source of energy in countries or regions that lie in volcanic areas， like Iceland， Italy， New Zealand or California.

Windmills have been used for centuries to grind grain into flour between two large stones or pump （用泵輸送） water out of areas that have been flooded. Today， large wind generators turn the power of wind into electricity. Such devices， however， can only be used in places with strong and constant （恒定的） winds. At the moment， though， costs are too high to produce wind energy on a big scale.

Tidal energy comes from the movement of ocean waves. One way to use the power of waves is to seal off a bay with a dam. When water moves into and out of the bay it turns a turbine （渦輪）， which produces electricity. There are some coastal areas around the world where the difference between high and low tide is up to 10 meters or more. Great Britain， Germany and France have coastal regions where such power can be created.

32. The main problem about solar energy is how to ___ .

A. find the right place to fix plates or cells B. collect and store it economically

C. use cells to store electricity D. cut down the costs for it

33. Geothermal energy comes from ___ .

A. heat below the earths surface B. tides from the sea

C. the wind D. the sun

34. How can windmills be used？

a. To grind grain into flour.

b. To move a turbine by boiling water.

c. To pump water out of flooded areas.

d. To turn the power of wind into electricity.

A. a， b， c B. a， b， d C. a， c， d D. b， c， d

35. What can we infer from the text？

A. We can collect and store energy from the sun for free.

B. Tidal energy was used in our daily life centuries ago.

C. Renewable sources of energy are badly in need.

D. Some kinds of energy will cause air pollution.

The Writers Block

Whatever you have to write， the idea of a blank page can be very discouraging. Here are a few easy tips to help you overcome your writers block.

1. Think before you write.

Before you actually start， think about what you want to say. The most important question to ask is： what response do I want to get？ 36 It may be a memo （備忘錄） at work. In that case， your main aim is that your reader will be able to get the most important information quickly.

2. Keep it short and to the point.

Use short， simple sentences， written for maximum effect. Make sure that everything you say is connected to your main aim or message. If you cant， its probably because youre not really sure of exactly what you want to say. 37

3. Avoid repetition.

A. Remember your readers！

B. Try reading your text aloud to yourself.

C. Itll make your text much easier to process.
